I dislike overt chest thumping patriotism but if you asked me if I was glad I am Australian then I would say yes, absolutely.

I have the honour to represent my country every day of my life through my work and I try and do so as best I can with a quiet understated Australian sort of dignity and pride.

Lurking under that typical Australian shyness and understatement is a steely determination to get what we need for our country.

insert American where it says Austrailian and thats exactly how I feel.

I was just teasing the Canadians, they're really on par with the rest of the US

I'm not particularly patriotic, but I have varying degrees of support for groups that diminishes the further you get from my socio-geographic grouping.

I am moderately patriotic. I don't think Canada is necessarily the greatest country on earth, but it's pretty Cthulhu-eating great. At the very least, it's not Bushistan.

Of course, I wrote the following today for kicks, so whatever.

A Hymn for Canada

A northern sea glimmers
Of maple and beaver
A vast congregation of people and land

Our red autumn forests
Our white winter prairies
Both wave in the zephyr that glides overhead

United in spirit
French, English, and other
On this fine rock that the First Nations hewed

We've fought against Boches
We've fought against Boers
We'll smite and/or help all who stand in our way

Inspired by freedom
And lauded by Nature
In Ottawa's written immortal decree

Our borders are open
To those who will gather
To live and to prosper, forever be free

Our nation has heart
Our nation is limber
Confederation will thrive and inspire the world

United in spirit
Our nation is limber
To live and to prosper, forever be free

I suppose I'm patriotic in my own way. I very firmly believe in the principles on which my country was founded, and I believe in defending those principles. I hardly agree with everything that my country does, and I frequently disagree with the leadership. I just don't think that those are necessarily mutually exclusive.

ehh. I think I had a thread on this.

I don't feel paticularly patriotic even though I was in the military.

But when they sing the national anthem, or do god bless america, I can't help but get that weird feeling in my stomach and chest.

So I guess I am a little bit. Though the goverment disgusts me in too many ways imaginable.

Sweden's greatness is built on immigration and foreigners?

If Australia plays another country in sport, I generally hope that they win.
That would be about the extent of my patriotism.

The poll is slanted. If the question was 'are you nationalistic?' the number of positve respondents would have been lower. Had you asked 'will you die for your country - no questions asked?' possibly even lower. And 'would you be willing to kill foreigners in order to raise the living standards of your people' then quite low.

but if they had an option which said "i don't give a flying or sitting **** about people in other countries", that would clearly be winning.

panag, That's funny, I actually thought about that and talked about it in here . I mean the one, that I don't feel safe, because if I'm killed, the killer gets out in 4 years or so., or beaten badly, then less than that. I'm not in danger, but you know, I wonder if it could work.
